Cellulite Massage Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is the lumpy substance resembling cottage cheese that is commonly found on the thighs, stomach, and buttochs. Cellulite is actually a fancy name for collections of fat that push against the connective tissue beneath a person's skin, which causes the surface of the skin to dimple or pucker and look lumpy.

What is Cellulite Massage?

This mode of massage focuses on the individual’s problem areas by stimulating the circulatory and lymphatic systems to help break down fatty tissue. Massage can target areas that are difficult to stimulate, helping to break down fatty tissue and rid the body of built up toxins. With Cellulite Massage, the cellulite areas are worked to stimulate circulation, especially those areas not worked very well with exercise. Through deep tissue manipulation, these unsightly pockets of fat can start to be broken down. Concentrating on the area of cellulite in the body, this massage has proven to produce great results over time. The stimulation along with our body wrap targets the problem areas very effectively.

Is Cellulite Massage a safer alternative to obesity surgery or lipo-suction?

Yes. And it costs you much, much less.
However, it's impossible to reduce the NUMBER of fat cells in your body without surgery.
Instead, this safe alternative reduces the SIZE of your fat cells. You get the same effect as surgery (unwanted inches) in a much safer way. You don't risk the potentially dangerous complications of surgery either.

Do Body Wraps involve exercise?

The Body Wrap System will reduce inches with or without exercise.
The resistance of the wraps will increase the benefits of any level of movement undertaken while wrapped. We have found that gentle exercise or being in a sauna suit will maximize the benefits of the body wrap.

How many inches will I lose with Cellulite Massage?

It depends upon your body type (the proportion of soft fatty tissue to muscle mass) and the amount of loose skin you have.
Most clients average a 3 to 6 inch loss after the second wrap treatment, and average about half the inch loss after the third and forth wraps. Many clients have body wraps for skin tightening and cellulite reduction while others seek the therapeutic benefits of detoxification.

Is this just a temporary water loss?

No. The Body Wrap is a firming and toning process which produces results by detoxifying and contouring flesh. There is very little water loss. You will lose more inches than pounds. Be sure to drink plenty of water and rest.

Will Body Wraps help cellulite?

As you probably know, cellulite is waterlogged fatty issue. One of the first things women with this problem report is the loss of many of their fat dimples and ripples within the first few wraps. Results, however, can be seen from the very first wrap.

How many body wraps will I need?

That depends on several things: how many inches you wish to lose, the number of inches lost per wrap, how much loose skin you have, how active you are in your wrap, your commitment to a weight loss program, etc.
To maximize your losses you ideally need to wrap once or twice a week until your skin is tight, you have less cellulite and you look great in and OUT of clothes.
It's safe to wrap two, three, or four times a day if time is a factor for upcoming events (i.e. weddings, reunions, photo shoots, etc.).

How much weight will I lose with cellulite massage?

The body wrap was designed to take off inches rather than pounds

If I don’t have months before a special event, can I get wrapped several times in one week?

YES you can. Many people only have a few weeks or even a few DAYS to get ready for a special event. You can wrap as often as you would like, and you will still receive the benefits of inch-loss as well as the tightening of skin.
If need be, you can wrap several times in a single day. This is a completely safe herbal/seaweed/mineral solution because it is all natural. However, not all wraps are suitable for people who have certain types f allergies, such as a seafood allergy. If you are concerned about having an allergic reaction, please consult your physician or massage therapist before your scheduled wrap.
So don’t feel that just because your reunion is only a month away you can’t make a significant change in your appearance because you can.

How long will the results last?

Each person is different and it depends on the wrap an individual chooses. Many individual’s experience more permanent results with the herbal Body Wrap. It is NOT a dehydration wrap like so many others. Because of this, the inches are not going to come back the first time you drink a glass of water. The inch-loss is completely permanent as long as you don’t gain weight. If you gain weight, obviously you gain new inches which replace the inches you have already lost.
The basic idea behind Body Wrap is to strengthen muscles, increase body fluids circulation, inch loss before weight loss and make inch loss results visible in 1 hour. The body is prepared by dry brushing the areas of the wrap, apply the product, and then you are wrapped in a plastic wrap or ace bandage wrap system. Heat is applied for at least 30 minutes.

Do you know the benefits of Dry Skin Brushing?

Your skin grows daily. There is a continual layer of dead skin lying upon the surface of the skin. This needs to be exfoliated daily. Dry skin brushing before the body wrap or lying in a tanning bed will rid the body of these dead skin cells, open up the pores, stimulate the sweat glands and brush up your blood circulation. Cellulite is the indirect cause of poor blood circulation. After this procedure any application of gel or lotion has a better chance of penetrating through the pores of the skin
